Aim:
To gain insight into the experiences of nurses in outpatient paediatric asthma care regarding how their profession changed, with an emphasis on workload, nurse-patient relationship, and task shifting, after the implementation of a remote patient care platform (called Airbridge (Luchtbrug)).
Design:
A descriptive qualitative study.
Methods:
Semi-structured face-to-face interviews were conducted from February 2023 to May 2023, with nurses who were working with Airbridge. Nurses were recruited using a purposive sampling method. An interview guide was developed partly based on the Technology Acceptance Model. Interviews were audio recorded, transcribed, and analysed according to Braun and Clarke's six phases of Thematic Analysis.
Results:
Eleven nurses participated in the interviews. Patient centred care and changes of professional practice due to working with remote patient care were identified as the main themes in relation to experiences of nurses after the introduction of a remote patient care platform.
Conclusion:
Nurses are pivotal in the successful implementation and sustainability of remote patient care (RPC) platforms, yet they require adequate time and organisational support. As primary users alongside patients, nurses should actively be involved in remote patient care (RPC) practices and take leadership in defining their responsibilities. This study enhances understanding of nurses' experiences with remote patient care (RPC), emphasizing the importance of their role in maintaining the nurse-patient relationship in an advanced professional nursing practice.
Impact:
These findings contribute to the understanding of the experience of nurses when working with a remote patient care (RPC) platform regarding effective implementation.
Reporting Method:
This study adhered to the COREQ guideline.
Public Contributions:
No paper or public contribution.

Rural health centers are specialized care facilities in remote locations with very few medical personnel. The primary care providers who run the centers are mostly Registered Nurse Practitioners. Here, emergency treatment is provided to critically ill or injured patients before they are transferred to the closest hospital. Fortunately, due to advancement in technology, many rural healthcare facilities and professionals have easy access to diagnostic and treatment...

Sputum culture and sensitivity is a medical procedure used to diagnose bacterial infections in the respiratory tract and select the most appropriate antibiotics for treatment. This process involves analyzing sputum samples of thick and opaque secretions produced in the lungs and airways. These samples are collected from patients and then sent to the laboratory for analysis.
The test can identify various pathogens responsible for respiratory infections, including Streptococcus,...
